El Aguila Gold & Silver Project
Santa Cruz, Argentina
In 2025 BM8 secured a Farm-In Agreement with Fredonia Mining Inc. to earn up to 80%–100% ownership of the El Aguila Gold & Silver Project in Santa Cruz, Argentina.
Project Highlights
Strategic Location – Spanning 9,124 hectares, adjacent to five active gold and silver mines in Argentina’s leading mining province.
High-Grade Mineralization – Over 100+ high-grade surface samples, including 174.58 g/t Au and 4,739 g/t Ag.
Strong Geological Potential – Located in a ‘failed caldera’ environment, hosting extensive epithermal quartz veins and breccias with gold-silver mineralization.
Previous Exploration Success – Historical drilling has confirmed high-grade gold and silver mineralization, with highlights including 40.55 g/t Au over 0.55m and 7.00m at 2.48 g/t Au, inc 1.7m at 9.02 g/t Au
Upcoming Exploration Plans – Battery Age is set to begin mapping, surface sampling, geophysical surveys, and a maiden drilling campaign in 2025.

Project Details
The El Aguila Project covers three contiguous license blocks in the Santa Cruz Province, Argentina’s leading region for gold and silver mining. In 2023, the province produced 680,000 ounces of gold and 15.2 million ounces of silver, accounting for 42% of Argentina’s total mining exports. Geological studies indicate a structurally controlled, high-grade gold-silver system, with extensive surface mineralization in quartz veins, breccias, and stockworks. Past exploration including trenching, channel sampling, and drilling has revealed multiple high-grade gold and silver zones, with significant potential for expansion at depth. BM8 plans to build on this work with detailed geological mapping, 3D modeling, trenching, and geophysical surveys, leading up to an initial drilling program to be carried out in 2025. With its high-grade potential, strategic location, and experienced exploration team El Aguila represents a transformational growth opportunity for Battery Age Minerals.
